On a recent trip out East, a family member convinced us to reconsider the chocolate covered pretzel. We were not convinced that anyone had finally struck the fine balance between salty and sweet, crunchy and smooth. Into our mouth went a pretzel, lightly coated with milk chocolate and small red candied dots. Chew, chew, chew,…hmm, salty and sweet but with a kick. It was a Mexican hot chocolate pretzel. Who knew they came like this? Next, we tried a pretzel with Chai spice infused chocolate. Then dark chocolate with a hint of mint.

The different flavors added a great and unique component to the treat. more ›
